Monk Class Mount and Quest - Ban-Lu, Grandmaster's Companion

Today we are taking a look at the Monk class mount 반루 - 대사부의 친구. Each class obtains their mount after completing 무덤 돌파, which also requires unlocking the Broken Shore and completing the first part of the Class Hall Campaign. Check out Wowhead's Youtube for more class mounts and questlines.\r\r\r\rMount Acquisition\r\r\r\rThe Monk Class Mount quest is fairly straight forward. You begin the questline with 사부 누구? and are asked to see out Master Bu, who has just returned from a long journey. \r\rSpeak with Master Bu and listen to his story.\r\r- Head to Kun-lai and begin to track Ban-Lu\r\r- Aid the Grummel and help find his lucky-do's\r\r- Head to the Shadowpan Monastery and clear out the lingering sha-lings.\r\r- Fly to Inkgill Mere and speak with the Jinyu.\r\r- From there head to the Temple of the White Tiger and collect the Lillies.\r\r- Return to the Jinyu and then head to Lake Kittitata.\r\rFrom here, Ban-Lu will reveal himself to you. \r\rAfter this you return to your Class Hall and are rewarded with the mount in a special cutscene.\r\r\r\r\rMount Model\r\rBan-Lu has no other color variations. There seems to be only one of his kind, other than his cub (lore wise) and he is a Companion that not only allows you to travel with him but also speaks to you periodically. \r\r\r\r\r \r\r\r\rClass Pet\rWhen you complete on either of the Monk spec artifacts, and the class mount questline, you can purchase 반푸 - 반루의 후손 from 메이 첼 for 10,000 연맹 자원. \r

A mount that talks! The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe nostalgia...

I knew that master bu was ban-lu the moment he started whining about his "weary bones"....Blizzard sure loves these "shocking" reveals about op historical figures disguising as old fragile pandarens in a lame attempt to "teach" the player characters humility. First it was emperor shaohao and now this. Wish they made something a little bit more original :\/

As a mount collector, I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed that monk only get one mount and in one color while other classes have three different mounts ...The mount is really beautiful tho' ! And it actually speaks ! :D

Does the 3 mounts for other classes count as +3 mounts for the 300 mounts achievement ?Because that would be so unfair :(

<looks at screenshots>\r\r"The wise monk chooses their own style..." ironic coming from the only style of that mount. \/sigh\r\rOh well - it looks really neat and it sounds pretty fun that he'll be talking. :)

Monk lore was copy pasted for Legion, so why start giving monks equal treatment this expansion?\r\rAs for the mount count, I think a few of the mounts change per spec, so those would probably only count as one, while the extra purchasable mounts surely all count. I'm an altaholic, so, in time I will get a hold of all the class mounts. Should keep me busy.

A nostalgic tour of pandaria, that's comfy.

I see a lot of comments dissing on the art style of this mount... I think it's perfectly fine! Like to see some of you come up with mounts constantly that differentiate from each other mount in-game and style it after a classes fantasy to boot

I didn't know Ban-Lu was one of Xuen's children. I think I learned something new today.

Hello,\r\rAny idea on when the class mounts will be usable on the PTR Dressing Room ?\rRight now, on the PTR dressing, I only see the link with the names of the different mounts (the one that redirects you to the mount page) but not the preview pictures that you can click on to select them.\rThey look awesome when viewed in 3D btw, but I'd love also to try on some xmog and possible clipping issues with them.\r\rThanks.

Shado-Pan is spelled incorrectly in the guide. They are not called Shadowpan.

The color palette was developed together with the inventor of LSD.

Yea.. My MAIN is a Monk and I like the mount, but very annoyed others get multiple color options. I'd really like the ability to turn off that crappy mohawk roof shingle looking thing on his head. Very distracting to look at that. Can we get the mount to look like the Pet? That would be a COOL MOUNT.

The helmet on the tiger must never be removed! NEVER!

It does not. No color dupes count.

I am also a little disappointed in the monk mount. It's a nice mount for something like a timewalking reward or a dungeon drop but as the monk class mount, it doesn't really stand out. I've obtained 6 class mounts so far and Ban-Lu is the only one that does not have any color variations or special animations. He looks like a basic flying tiger without wings. I get that he talks but I don't really care for that, especially since the first words out of his mouth were requesting I "lay off the mana buns" :(

This says you have to be exalted with Armies of Legionfall... that is false. I am currently Revered 5,636\/21,000 and I have the "Master Who?" quest. I was able to get it as soon as I finished the full 15 chapters of Broken Isles story progression.

There are color variations by race, but since my race doesn't change, my mount stays the same.
